INTRODUCTION Ar THE outset I wish to say a few words about the nature and the limitations of this discussion of t the Federal Coun cil. My primary concern has not been the actual work or pro gram o the organization but rather the ideas which have been expressed in and through it. In order to deal adequately with die work, the results, and significance of an organization such as the Council it would be necessary to have a longer and more intimate acquaintance with it than has been my privilege. Thus I have consciously limited myself to a discussion and analysis of the ideas which have found expression in and through the Council, as those ideas have been recorded in the extensive and various literature of the Council. In this connection I wish to point out die difficult problem of discerning what documents arc truly representative of the Councils thought and which are not. The Council, as the following study seeks to point out, is not a closely integrated organization which maintains close control over the utterances of its members and personnel. Rather it may perhaps be described as a kind of orbit within which move many different and sometimes conflicting ideas.

The line of separation by no means always follows the distinction between those statements labelled by the Executive Committee as official, and those published unofficially. In the present study no general rule has been followed. I have tried rather to consider each state ment or idea on its own merit, and in the light of as many fac tors as possible, often consulting with the individuals and groups rcsjxmsiblc for it. ix x INTRODUCTION Whatever the limitations of a study devoted principally to the literature of the Council, it does point to an important fact about the organization. As an organization whose basic purpose is educational, its most important activities are the ideas which it expresses. The most important single aspect of what it does is what it says. The ideas which it has expressed have given mean ing and guidance to its program of activities. To be sure, there are important exceptions to this rule. Significant activities of the staff have often never been embodied in the Councils pronounce ments...
